We outline the progress on the hormonal basis of human paternal behavior during the past
twenty years. Advances in understanding the roles of testosterone, prolactin, oxytocin and …

Recent research points to decreasing testosterone (T) levels as well as decreasing
relationship quality during the transition to fatherhood, and it has been suggested that T …

Early life cues of environmental harshness and unpredictability have been hypothesized to
influence within-species variation in the timing of life history transitions and the dynamics of …

In this chapter, we review research on the neuroendocrinology of close relationship
processes, with a focus on human romantic relationships and in the context of parenthood …

Objective Cross‐culturally, men's T declines in response to pairbonding and fatherhood, but
less is known about what happens to T during and after life history transitions that …

Progress is being made toward understanding neuroendocrine pathways involved in
mammalian social behaviour. Parental behaviour is an important component of social …

Human paternal behavior is multidimensional, and extant research has yet to delineate how
hormone patterns may be related to different dimensions of fathering. Further, although …

Objective Individual differences in quality of father involvement in caregiving might in part be
explained by fathers' testosterone (T) levels. We examined the links between fathers'(n= 32) …

Abstract In Euro-American societies, married people typically have lower overall risks for
total mortality and for certain chronic conditions compared to non-married people. However …

The first goal of the chapter is to summarize prominent theories used in the paternal
neuroendocrinology literature to describe the pathways after men's transition to parenthood …
